My son told me recently he and my DIL are divorcing. They have 1 child, my only granddaughter, 5 years old. Since she was a baby I have watched her a lot and we have a very close relationship. I suspected things were not right when my DIL started going to the gym every night, at dinner time, getting tatoos and piercings. I feel taken advantage of since she had me watching GD all the while she was planning this. My son planing on sharing custody 50:50. I week here, one week there. Currently I pick up GD from school 4 days a week. They are still living together till the divorce is final. I feel not it is not my responsibility to help her now that they are divorcing. Of course I would be there for emergencies, but she needs to know what the real world is like. (She was a stay at home mom till GD started kindergarten. ). How do I approach this. Should I slowly wean her off her dependency on me, have her find a sitter? Her parents dont help her at all. Her complaint about my son was he worked too much. No cheating, drinking, anything like that. She just wants to have more fun. My son said it’s my decision whether I want to continue to help her. I think he wants her to take more responsibility, since GD was with me more than my DIL before kindergarten. Ohhh. Got that off my chest. Lol.
Anger management!!! Help needed.
